Sandie 53 Posted September 1, 2008 Im not happy!! Just had notification in response to my email chaser for confirmation of 6 tickets for which I paid 720zl plus £25 charges that the receiving bank has only passed on 680zl and that I must forward a further 40zl to cover additional costs before they will release ticket confirmation. What sort of rip off is this !!! Who do you bank with this end JSR. In the end my transaction was pretty much smooth. I printed off the confirmation that I received that reserved my seats. I took this to the bank (Nationwide) and we filled out the form. We were asked if paying in sterling or zloty - so we paid in zloty - I dont know if that maybe the difference and the cause of your problem. I checked my statement and the money we transferred in zloty (which was the figure on the reservation print out) was passed on from the Polish bank in full and then a seperate transaction for the fee to Nationwide. We had been told that the receiving bank MAY have made a charge but it doesnt appear they did as I now have my confirmation to collect tickets. Maybe the club will accept the 40z posted to them - its not a great deal so not to much of a worry about it going missing - apart from the obvious - they dont get the money!! What a dilema - good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a dilema - good luck In my case receiving Bank seems to have made a charge. Club will not let me pay the balance on the day. So lookks as if I have got to cough up for another tranfer. By the way my transfer was HSBC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Close to your hotel in the square there is a restaurant called "Roosters" , that is definatley the place to eat. btw,now Oxford has closed i guess your now a Ipswich supporter !

I had the same trouble when sending a money transfer to buy my Bydgoszcz tickets. Unfortunatley the small print does say you must pay all bank charges. Hope you get it all sorted.

I wonder why you have sggested Roosters!! Maybe it's the street entetainment or perhaps something else Your find the 50 PLN are charges made by the recieving polish bank.

I didnt have any problems. I assume my money was transferred to the same bank as you but they didnt charge me at the receiving end. All mine went through!! It is really strange but maybe the bank suddenly realised there were about to be swamped and started charging Hope you can all sort it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
